Don't forget to like the video y'all :D Next video is me rewatching Iron Man 2!!
What about Batman Under the Red Hood?
Don't know if you've seen it tho.
@RobTheKingOfGames Isn't that essentially like the Avengers: Infinity War of the DC animated universe? You want her to start there?
@RobTheKingOfGames Does Death of Superman take place before Justice League War?
Please do more dc animated series episodes and movies of the dcau or the dc animated universe
What about The Incredible Hulk
Kevin Conroy will always be my Batman, and Mark Hamill my Joker
same
facts bro
I know Darth Joker
You said it!
Always.
A few things:
To answer your question, none of this movie's story is based on any comic. The character of the Phantasm and her backstory was, to my knowledge, completely original to this film. And I think that's one of the things people love so much about this movie. It's a completely original story that nonetheless captures the soul of the character better than any other Batman movie.
And, just to be clear, when people say that this is the best Batman movie, they often don't mean that it is the best film in the Batman franchise. What they mean is that this movie does a better job of telling a story that is actually about Batman. This movie explores his tortured soul and conveys his internal conflict and motivations better than any other Batman film. The Dark Knight may be a better movie, but Mask of the Phantasm is a better Batman movie.
Also, one detail that I love is that the whole climactic confrontation of this movie takes place in the old, dilapidated ruins of what was a metaphor for Bruce and Andrea's future together. Symbolism, or whatever.
That's why the title isn't "Batman: The Dark Knight". It's more about the legend that surrounds the hero.
@@jp3813 That's a fantastic point, and I totally agree. Batman is more of a reactionary character in that one. He isn't so much driving the story himself as he is just the center of this sprawling crime story. He is the subject of the film, in a way, but the movie isn't really about HIM, if you know what I mean.
Honestly, I think that whole point is overblown. I mean, I think Batman Forever is totally a Batman movie. So is Batman Begins, so is Dark Knight Rises, so is The LEGO Batman movie. I think there're plenty of good Batman movies. But I know that that's a point a lot of people make so I thought I'd bring it up.
Mask of the Phantasm is a very loose adaptation of the four-part story Batman: Year Two from 1987. The killer vigilante in the comic was named the Reaper, and it actually was the father instead of the daughter under the mask in the original story.
@@calebmurphy9406 Yeah, the brilliance of that film is that almost every character in it impacts the story in a critical way. They all contribute to the legend, right down to the weasel who tried to blackmail Bruce. Remove one and the narrative changes. In comparison, Tim Burton's Batman films focus more on the villains rather than Batman himself despite their titles.
@@jp3813 Yes, every action leads to the next in that movie. And even though I'm more of a fan of his arc in The Dark Knight Rises, I kind of like that Batman feels largely powerless throughout The Dark Knight. Like he's just barely keeping up with the plot. But, of course, in the years since people have needed to find some reason to criticize that movie so that they can seem like they have taste.
A comic book movie that doesn't get nearly enough love. Along with the DCAU as a whole. Batman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and JLU are all so brilliant.
The only modern DC thing that gets a little close to their success is Young Justice (glad it got renewed)
Superman: The Animated Series and Static Shock were pretty great as well.
you know thats cap. people applaud this world as THE universe
@@shiningnight12 yeah its praised by everyone who sees it, but it doesnt get as much mainstream recognition as it deserves
Huh? This movie is universally loved by fans
Batman: Under the Red Hood is a great animated movie that’s completely standalone
Let’s push this all the way must watch
Yeeeeeees
John DiMaggio is also outstanding as the Joker!
Yes, please watch this one too 😊
@Rando Yaguchi I have no idea what version you watched
Mark Hamill's Joker is Voice Acting perfection.
And don’t forget about Kevin Conroy
@@collinfitzpatrick3413 Right you are.
Mark and Kevin will always be my favorite Batman and joker like no one else I can enjoy more than Kevin and Mark don’t get me wrong everyone else is good but I just enjoy Kevin and Mark as Batman and Joker more than anyone else as Batman and Joker It’s like how in transformers no one else will ever surpass Peter and Frank as Optimus and Megatron they will always be my Optimus and Megatron just how Kevin and Mark will always be my joker and Batman
The actress voicing Andrea, Dana Delaney, would go on to voice Lois Lane in Superman: The Animated Series.
And, on that note: World's Finest is the animated movie/three part episode of the Superman animated series where these cartoon versions of Batman and Superman first met, and it's as good as Mask of the Phantasm.
world's finest is the best animated movie imo, mask of the phantasm is right there with it though
No wonder why she sounded so familiar!! Wow!
World's Finest is what Batman V Superman should have been
it was good But this was better
I think she was better as Lois. Then again, there was Teri Hatcher who played Lois in the live live 1990s series. You give your pick.
I know it's strange, but lately when I see this film I want to give props to that guy at the end. Before Andrea said anything he picked up on her mood and apologized for bothering her. Might have one thing on his mind, but at least he's perceptive and willing to drop the act when the lady's clearly hurting. Classier than he looks at first glance
Certainly better than some of the 'Nice Guys' in Promising Young Woman.
I mean wasn't she literally wearing all black and a black veil though?
@@KotoRyu ...Well now I feel oblivious. Would you believe I never spotted the black veil? Still, his response to spotting that was spot on. Didn't keep going, but also didn't just flee from an awkward moment, and left the decision about what she needed clearly up to her
@@EditDeath If I'm being perfectly honest I'm not even sure I've seen that scene since the first time I watched this in...whatever 95 or some shit when it came out, I forgot it existed until I saw this video, so I was kind of paying more attention than I would have been.
Do people still do that? Dress in black for mourning or whatever? Like, AFTER a funeral is over? I don't even know for how long after a death it would be customary. In the real world, let alone in the bizarro 50s.
Fun Fact: Andrea actually does come back as a cameo in the series finale of Justice League Unlimited, where they reveal Terry's (Batman Beyond) origin.
Because Amanda Waller wanted her to give Terry a tragic beginning
There was also a comic that explained what happened immediately after "Mask". Joker escapes(as he's wont to do)when the Fair blows up and Andrea escapes. Some killer using the Phantasm's MO appears later and Andrea returns to stop it. First it appears to be Joker, but then its revealed its that worm of a councilman who sold out her father, who's been driven permanently insane thanks to Jokers toxin. He tries to kill Andrea in revenge later, but she uses her smoke to trick him into falling to his death before permanently fleeing the city, giving Bruce a tearful goodbye.
_Fun Fact: Andrea actually does come back as a cameo in the series finale of Justice_ _League Unlimited ..._
You mean Season 2 finale. JLU had another season after that.
I feel like this movie doesn't get enough credit for being an honest and sincere love story, and making it the CORE of the story rather than a tacked-on love interest like lots of other superhero movies.
Oh wow. There’s a bunch of stuff in the DCAU but it’d be cool if you reacted to more of it. Batman The Animated Series, Justice League (along with Justice League Unlimited) and Batman Beyond were my childhood. This movie is such a classic as well.
And the JLU movie crisis.
And don’t forget Superman The Animated series
This Batman story is dark, sad, and action-packed. I always find myself coming back to it. Of all the Batman films, it really resonates with me.
A lot of characters and storylines were introduced in the DCAU first and then incorporated into the comics later. The most notable one was the creation of Harley Quinn. Andrea/Phantasm wasn't canonically introduced into the comics until a few months ago.
It’s still the best Batman movie in my humble opinion.
this is one of the best batman movies period , You should watch Batman beyond the return of joker next.
After watching the first two Episodes of The Batman Beyond Series though so she isn't lost lol
@@AzazelTheFallen She should watch "Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero" first.
@@justinbryan6249 no argument here
Mystery of the Batwoman is good too
@@KionKamon That's true, it is pretty good. That's also my favorite version of Batwoman.
Yeah, my one real sticking point with the Nolan trilogy was the overall lack of detective work. Which was kind of why I'd hoped to see Riddler, or some other intellectual threat, in the third movie.
The animated series is much heavier on detective work, and this movie is its crown jewel.
Not to mention, Andrea is probably the best love interest. I mean, Vicki Vale, Rachel Dawes, and Chase Meridian felt so lacking.
Mark Hamill as the Joker is what I call perfect casting
Could have been a great live action role as well. Kevin Conroy too.
I love this movie, AND with your commentary, *clapping intensifies*
@@KrystalogyReacts how are you watching it a streaming service or online
@@KrystalogyReacts I think you should watch Batman animated series I think you might enjoy it
What clapping 😳?
@@jamesvader1195 it’s on hbo max.
I've never heard of this movie, thank you for making me know about it, the aspect, the grain looks very cool
The grain makes it soo cozy
It’s a good movie
If you haven't seen the animated series do yourself a favor and catch it. It's widely considered the greatest animated show ever. Mark Hammil is the greatest Joker as Conroy is the greatest Batman. Also it's where Harley Quinn was created.
@@KrystalogyReacts yes this is the best Batman movie
@@KrystalogyReacts if you ever The Batman with Michelle Kenton Batman did dective work in that
Shirley Walker composed the music of this movie and many other batman animated movies
She was a legend who truly understood this Character
Rip
Definitely one of the best Batman stories
It was Awesome seeing this on the Big Screen! I wish they would've kept releasing these in the Theater.
Andrea was invented for the film and the character of the Phantasm was only very loosely based on the villain The Reaper from the comic Batman: Year Two. Batman is one of those characters that you can add elements of backstory to and as long as it doesn’t break established lore and canon, it can work really well.
I keep forgetting that I've seen Affleck in animated form
I would say this is the best animated Batman movie ever. Batman Returns and Batman Begins are probably my favorite live action movies thus far.
Always one of my favorites since I was a kid. Such a complex movie for being animated and most people don’t understand that. Bruce was left with a Broken City and a Broken heart.
This film was released on Christmas Day, 1993. Unfortunately, it wasn't advertised very well by the studio, so it didn't do all that well (though it later did very well on home video). Mark Hamill later recounted in a podcast with Kevin Smith, that on Christmas in NY, he took his family to see the film and there were maybe only half a dozen people at the theatre. He invited them to come watch the movie with him and his family and those few who were there got to spend "Christmas with the Joker".
I saw this opening day. Xmas 1993. Most solid Batman movie experience ever. Everyone applauded super loud when The Joker came out and laughed extra hard whenever he was on screen. Everyone had the exact same reaction to what was going on in the movie. That's the only time I've ever experienced that.
I just realized after all these years that Andreas voice actress is the same woman who voices Lois Lane in the Superman show. Can’t believe I never caught that.
I think they said it was her role here that convinced them to cast her as Lois later because of how good she was.
I think she was better as Lois. Then again, there was Teri Hatcher who played Lois in the live live 1990s series. You give your pick.
@@osmanyousif7849 I’ve never watched any live action Superman film or show that came before Superman Returns. So I’m gonna go with Superman TAS.😂
Even tho How cool, smart strong Batman is. He couldn't get himself out from that alley where he saw his parents murder.
He still struggling with that trauma, Deep inside he's still just kid who's trying to stop two bullets!
I like Batman: Mask of the Phantasm mostly because how the creator makes the setting of the movie. I mostly like how they created a unique design on how Gotham City looks like and how it looks alot like the 50s.
The Phatasm was a completely new character
Awesome to see you react to the best cinematic Batman.
The look on your face when you heard the score was priceless and I was not disappointed lol.
Always remember watching this as a wee boy at the cinema, my pops took me to see it pretty late even tho he worked early af. A true hero : D
Now that you’ve seen your first animated Batman movie, I’d like to recommend Batman: Under the Red Hood. It’s one of my all time favorites. And while it’s a darker story, it’s a really good one.
MOTP is definitely one of the most underrated movies in Batman lore. WB didn’t expect this movie to do much, hence the limited release in theaters. But they do have a sequel that continues after the events of MOTP, sadly it’s only in a comic form titled “Shadow of the Phantasm”, and led to loose arcs in the “Batman & Robin Adventures” comics, and “Batman Beyond” where it chronicles Andrea working as a mob enforcer still under the guise of the Phantasm. Definitely is a storyline that could’ve led to so much more had WB capitalized on it. But even 20+ years after it’s release, it still holds strong as a classic.
Awesome Glad Your Reacting to this Batman Film not a lot of RUclipsrs do. This Is an Absolute Classic.
Yes easily the best animated Batman movie ever made. I remember loving it as a kid. I love it even older now
9:20 I really wish you would watch at least a few episodes of Batman the Animated Series. It's the TV show this movie was based off. There is an episode called "The Mechanic" which has the origin of the Bat Mobile. Batman the animated series was great, it's still my favorite tv show even as an adult. There were a few episodes that won emmys. There were a few two part episodes in particular that were very good and worth watching, Robin's Reckoning, Two Face, Heart of Steel, and quite a few single episodes that were really good too like "Harlequinade" and "Heart of Ice". There are like 60 something episodes but the nice thing is they don't really need to be watched in anyorder. If people enjoyed you reacting to this movie i'm sure they will love you reacting to Batman the Animated Series.
10:30 that's the entire plot of the movie. This is why Batman can't have a family.
14:57 that's the DCAU Joker's trademark. He has an explosive temper but just as you think he's going to explode he calms down, starts cracking wise, laughing, then does something diabolical.
Andrea Beaumont a.k.a. The Phantasm is an exclusive character to the movie/animation canon. You are correct most comic adaptations do take artistic liberties to the source material. Sometimes for the best, and sometimes for the worse.
The story is actually a reworked idea from the comic book story Batman Year Two, in which Batman took on a character called the Reaper (direct inspiration for the Phantasm).
I hope The Batman has some Detective moments like this movie and another great Animated Batman movie is Under the Red hood and Batman the Dark Knight Returns. Enjoy💖
The way you just tear into Arthur is worth every second of the video. Also, "Why you worried about those little ass planes, Bruce?" Two seconds later, "No wait, worry about those tiny planes!" I feel like there's also an analogue for Batman and Joker's fight destroying the 'city' too. As far as the storyline for Mask of Phantasm, and Andrea, they're pretty much exclusive to the movie itself, and the 90's animated continuity, and have not really been revisited or retouched in comics, movies, games, or cartoons since then. Why that is, I couldn't tell you.
Although there is a VERY small reference in MK11 when Spawn confronts Joker before a fight and recites the infamous line, "Your Angel of Death awaits."
Love seeing your reactions
Romance, action and a well crafted examination of Bruce and Batman.
What's not to love!
This is one of my favourite films and your commentary was absolutely delightful. Thanks for sharing. ✌
This is the best Batman story ever told in a movie. Andrea was invented for the movie, I think she was named for Andrea Romano, the voice director on every animated project that matters in the least.
Hoping for an under the red hood reaction
This is my favorite Batman movie it defines what and who Batman is very well.
YES! Mask of the Phantasm is goated
Great movie
The whole Bruce Tim universe is perfection overall!
Fun fact the joker is voiced by mark Hamill unless you already knew that
Hamill*
Hart Bochner also played a supreme jagoff in _Die Hard._ I watched that one last year for the first time, and when I heard his voice, I went "So THAT'S why he was cast in Mask of the Phantasm."
Yessir the movie reaction videos are awesome!!! I already gave the video a thumbs up!!!
So happy you reacted to this. It is my favorite Batman movie. It captures the detective side that so many movies miss. And I love the ending. The best Batman movies end bittersweetly. He can win, but at a cost. That is the best Batman can hope for, but the eternal battle against evil without personal happiness is what makes him a hero.
The animated DC universe from the 90's has its own story and this movie is part of it. It's basically the Batman cartoon, the Superman cartoon, the Batman Beyond cartoon, the Justice League cartoon and a few animated movies. As a whole, it's really, really great, and has some of the best portrayals of these characters ever put on screen. They're not always exactly comics-accurate as far as the stories go, but they are always accurate to the spirit of each character.
Love love love ur review style ❤️❤️❤️
The Batman films do show Bruce Wayne acting as a detective, but the 1989 Batman film established a trend that has continued in the subsequent movies: Bruce does most of his detective work out of the costume. Whether it's an investigation into the Penguin's childhood (Batman Returns), a deciphering of the Riddler's word games (Batman Forever), a ballistics test to retrieve a fingerprint (The Dark Knight), or a series of probes to learn about the White Portuguese ship (Batman v Superman), Bruce is almost always doing his best work without letting that bulky costume get in his way.
The music "Birth of Batman"as Batman dons the suit, turning to Alfred and the orchestra and choir singing the theme is one of the most epic moments ever. Gives me chills every time.
Also yes, this is the best Batman movie(and one of the few times BTAS Joker actually got to kill people.)
This movie is the first ever appearance of the phantasm, she was made specifically for this movie and later brought to the comics
Andrea is part of the Batman Beyond project with Amanda Waller
What I like about the mystery element of this movie is that you get the chance to figure it out for yourself.
23:27 love the symbolism in this scene.
This movie is incredible and the show it spun off from is classic and most of it holds up really well. Really loved your commentary to it!
Bruce: "The "I" word?"
Girl: "Ingagement."
Me: 🤨
Just subbed. Loved your commentary. You're such an astute young lady. Loved how you picked up on all the details and appreciated all the emotional nuances of this story. It's one my favorite if not the best Batman stories ever. How he almost DIDN'T become Batman. Andrea and The Phantasm was a new addition to the mythology when they started doing Batman The Animated Series and when it was taking off.
This was a great choice. So much more to watch and plenty of fans to check out your reactions.
Try these movies: Blade, The Chronicles of Ridick, Conan the Barbarian.
Or these Animated features: Renaissance 2054, Robinhood (the old one), Final Fantasy Advent Children.
…all of the WB Batman animated stuff is great and Batman Beyond is a fantastic Next-Gen. So gritty.
Great reaction
Love ur 80s inspired look!
I adore this movie! It's my favorite Batman movie out there. Andrea makes for a fantastic character and a great foil to Bruce. The scene where he apologizes to his parents for being happy gets me every time.
When everything around me starts exploding I'm doing this. 23:30 For me one of the best Joker laughs of all time
12:55 He was so cute. Look at his eyes, full of hope.
Watching this makes me even more excited and hyped for Batman caped crusader!
the scene where bruce is begging at his parents grave to let him be happy is one of the saddest and heartbreaking moments of the series.
I love this movie. I wish I could have experienced seeing this in the theater as a kid. That would have been so cool.
2:44 I DIED!!! 😂😂😂😂
I was at the theater on Christmas in 1993 watching this. It was awesome on the big screen.
Andrea was created for this movie, named for the voice director Andrea Romano, who also voice directed Avatar the last Airbender, animaniacs, and much much more. This is loosly based on a batman story where it actaully was the father of a love interest.
Batman's main love interests are as follows, actress Julie Madison(his first), Selina Kyle Catwoman, Vicki vale(a lois lane rippoff), Pamila poison Ivy Isly(who was incapable of true love but did have a crush on batman), Silver St Cloud(who was the first to discover his secret identity), Talia Al Gul, the daughter of the demon and later mother of his son, and then there were a few minor ones like the reaper's daughter.
Batman TAS really does showcase his detective skills better than most popular media, but yeah I wish they'd put more emphasis on that too
I love this movie my dad saw this when it came out I believe and he showed it to me when I was a kid, its one of my favorites and Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil do a great job, so many great dc animated movies
Such an amazing reaction! Pretty soon Krystal going to be a DC fangirl!🤣🤘🏾😁
I went to see a special showing of this in the theater in 2018(its 25th anniversary)...and less than 20 minutes in the power went out and wouldn't come back on.
9:21, the Batmobile!!
I love this its my top five. Number one being Batman Under the Red Hood
7:06, death by Angel!
This was a good movie love the video Krystal stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
This movie always makes me wanna cry yet I never do. Hate myself for not crying lol but I’m glad you love this movie. I recommend the Dark Knight Returns part 1 and 2. It’s on HBO max and they are Batman movies. I’ve only seen part 1 and just a few scenes of part 2 but I have to say they are the craziest dc movies I’ve seen.
I remember watching this at a theater.
Great video, this wasn’t an adaptation it was a new story. But I think they added the phantasm to the comics after this movie. Keep up the awesometacular videos
This animated Batman really embodies all the best aspects of previous comic book Batman versions. They especially drew from the 70s Batman written and drawn by Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams, a detective first who wasn’t as dark, dealt with more street level crime, and was more emotionally stable than the more recent portrayals.
Batman Under the Redhood, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman Year One and Batman Beyond Return of the Joker are all amazing animated films. I’d watch the first three episodes of Batman Beyond though before Return of the Joker.
This was definitely the best of the animated Batman's solo films.
Yeeeessss 💜 and I got my pizza to keep me company watchin' this video
yooo lemme get a slice
Can I have slice too

20:57 OOMPH!!!!
Just subscribed! This is one of my favorites when it comes to Batman, followed by under the red hood!
To answer the ending question: The movie is an original, but the phantasm is actually based off of a Batman villain called the reaper. Who was introduced in Batman: Year 2. Elements of the story were based off of that comic, including the concept the phantasm waging war on criminals & having a personal connection to Bruce
There's a new continuation in the comics. It's called Batman/Catwoman. Andrea took again the mantle as Phantasm.
Ha! Now I'll never be able to think about the Phantasm without thinking of the Hash Slinging Slasher.
R.I.P., Kevin Conroy. You will always be my Batman.
The 90s Batman Animated Series was in a completely different league. It was one of three comic-based animated TV series that I literally grew up watching, the other two being Spider-Man and X-Men. And this film is actually one of two feature-length films for the 90s series, with the second one being "Batman: Subzero". So before you check out any other animated Batman movies, including Under The Red Hood, make sure you check out Subzero first!
Iirc this movie's plot took inspo from Batman Year 2, but also really improved upon it. Also like, Bruce never really learnt to process his grief properly I think. That's why he struggled with the fact that he's not feeling as sad as he was when he was a child about his parents' death. He felt like he should still feel tormented about it, he can't fully comprehend that it's okay to also build relationships with others. That's why people are happy when in the comics, he started a relationship with Selina, before it not mattering whatsoever.
it's been a while since I saw this; I never realized they brought back Andrea's voice actress to play Lois Lane in the superman cartoons
